She then joked: "So be warned when you come and stay, I've bought TWO blow up boards from @fatstickboards and you're coming with me."

With her brunette hair left loose around her shoulders and a pair of black shades concealing her eyes, Carol looked every inch the paddleboarding pro in her black wetsuit. Her fans were quick to react, with many saying how fabulous she looked.

Maths genius Carol is quite the fitness fan, often posting on social media about her workouts, crediting her healthy, balanced diet as a source of "brainpower".

The TV star encourages others to enjoy brain-boosting foods and a diet that includes plenty of fruit and veg, low-fat protein and starchy, fibre-rich carbs.

A typical lunch for Carol, taken from her book Eat Yourself Clever, is a tuna Nicoise salad and a pot of yoghurt or fromage frais. A balanced leafy green salad with protein-rich eggs and tuna as a source of omega-3 is the perfect midday meal for the Countdown star.
